In this episode, I'm covering some of the tasks that as developers we need to worry about, even when they're not really about coding.As developers, we're often faced with tasks that are just not "fun", like tracking our work, going into meetings, etc. Truth is, all "cool developers" tend to say they avoid them, however instead of avoiding them, if you understand the reason for them and embrace those tasks, then you'll be helping your manager and you'll be doing a much better job as a developer in the end.The tasks I cover in this episode are:Task tracking, and how it's not an evil practice.Meetings are not by default wrong. Plan and only then code.Avoid overengineering your solutions.Links of interestSkills of a successful software engineer (my book): https://www.manning.com/books/skills-of-a-successful-software-engineerRedis Essentials cours (my course on LinkedIn learning): https://www.linkedin.com/learning/redis-essential-training-15012713/ Get in touch!X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deleteman123YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@the-scripting-denMy newsletter: https://fernandodoglio.substack.com/Rate us!To ensure the podcast reaches more developers, make sure to rate it on your favorite podcasting app and in Podchaser!Thank you!
